Directions:
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch or 10-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sugar, egg, milk, and bourbon until well combined; whisk in chocolate until combined. Whisk in flour mixture and praline until just combined. Place cake batter in pan.

Bake 30-35 minutes, or until well risen and slightly cracked on top. Cool 30 minutes before removing outer ring. Drizzle hot fudge and caramel on top of cake, sprinkle with praline, and serve.

Looks like a wonderful cake -- I'll try it this weekend! Question, though, it looks from the picture like the cake was baked in a tube pan, but the instructions call for a springform. And can you give us the praline recipe you used, or recommend one?

Hey Tom, it's pretty fudgy from the mayo and all of that chocolate - just a warning. It's more a fudgy brownie consistency. I should have posted another picture of the whole cake. It's tapered and a little sunken in the middle. There's a whole praline on top. I baked it in a 9-inch springform. I used the praline recipe from Simply Recipes. I texted my mom for the recipe....

Well, I've just been updating my blog and blogging more. I'll be doing some freelance blog work coming up. I'm in transition right now. I got laid off two weeks ago. Pastry school is great! The job market, however, is not so great. :-) Thank you for reading!
